Daytonian Larry Crowe has conducted over 1500 interviews of African Americans for the PBS History Makers Project. Here's his talk with WYSO's Basim Blunt about 3 prominent local Black Historians he thinks everyone should know.
When the pandemic sent children home from school nearly one year ago, it largely thrust education on the backs of parents.

As the COVID vaccine rollout continues, Midwesterners have a lot of questions about distribution plans -- and the vaccine itself. One state is getting help from a surprising place: public libraries. Side Effects Public Media’s Darian Benson reports.
We wrap up today's program with a little Valentine's Day romance from Bird Note, and the inspirational words of Bill Felker in Poor Will's Almanack.
